View Full Version : Does this Safety Fail?

I installed a DPMS rounded hammer to use with my .22 Conversion Kit (CMMG)

With the safety selector activated I can pull the trigger roughly 2/32" before the safety selector stops the movement. Marking the trigger and checking total travel it only takes 1/32" more before the hammer falls. With the original hammer there is practically no trigger movement when the safety is engaged.

This is with a Bushmaster FCG. I checked this with an RRA FCG and the hammer causes the same excess movement.

I would not say it failed as the hammer did not fall with the safety on, however I would not consider it ideal. Just remember, the best safety is the one that is not on the gun. Just because the gun says safe, do not trust it.
